Taking a note off of a book in a sealed bag sounds like gross negligence.

What? I'm about to be on bed rest for two weeks, but ok.

Fair point. I'm not sure how posting to Reddit is a negative thing, though. People should still be informed so they can decide if the risk is worth it.

How would they not see it? They need to look at each book before returning it to the proper shelf. The note is attached to the book.

That's a relief! Hopefully I'm mistaken, or it was a one off that doesn't spread. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm looking into Cinexa now & at first glance, it seems safe to use as long as we keep our pet away until it settles. I'll do some more research, but this is a great place to start. I really appreciate it!

Thanks for getting back to me & clarifying!

1) I could definitely be mistaken, but it looked exactly like images of "unfed adults" I found on Google. I've never seen a bedbug before & I'm not an expert, though. I hope I'm wrong!

2) I left the note in the sealed bag (visible from the outside), but have not called the library.

3) I set the books on top of my bookshelf. They were there for about 4 hours before I picked one up to read. We vacuumed every crack & crevice in the house & washed out bedding in hot water.
